[c-prog] Help needed with .HLP files

[Anthony Appleyard]

I am sorry to be somewhat off-topic here, but, when writing a program
in  C or C++ or any other language, one commonly needed part is
writing a help for it. In two of my major projects (an image handler
and a CGI mesh editor) I have spent much time down the years keeping
up to date their help (.HLP) files. But Visual C++ has dropped the
Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe). This is a big nuisance. Please
could someone direct me to one of:
(1) An email group that discusses help files.
(2) A program that translates .HLP files to .HTML format.
Thanks.
